Generate index notebook

[hodgestar]

We currently generate an index HTML page, but it would be great to also generate an index notebook. This would allow us to provide an nbviewer, Binder or try-qutip link to the index notebook, which would be a nice way for users to explore the full set of tutorials.

Hi @hodgestar! Is this still open? If yes, may I create the notebook?

[hodgestar]

@devyloper It is!

Note that we'd like an autogenerated index, similar to the one generated for the website, but as a notebook (in Markdown format) instead of an HTML page. You might still be able to use the Jinja templating engine.

nbformat can be used to generate the index notebook file similar to the website. Converting the already generated html files for both versions to md files and then appending them to respective index ipynb files that will be generated.

The index generation was cleaned up somewhat in #90 so generating an index .ipynb might be more feasible now. The new try-qutip option is just a Markdown file, so perhaps this is sufficient and a notebook index is no longer required.
